Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I’ve spent nearly twenty years working with dogs and their people, teaching, training, and coaching across almost every corner of the dog training world. If there’s one lesson that stands out, it’s this: every dog-and-human team is unique. Each has its own goals, challenges, and potential, which means training should always be tailored to the individuals in front of me. Here you’ll find ways I support that journey—through virtual lessons, seminars, and step-by-step video tutorials. My hope is that you’ll discover something here that helps you move closer to your training goals.

He specializes in protection sports and obedience, with a skill set that bridges both foundational training and advanced performance work.

He has presented more than 150 seminars and workshops around the world, working with sport clubs of every discipline, rescue organizations, search and rescue teams, law enforcement units, and members of the general public. Forrest played a key role in the development of CPP—China’s first protection suit sport—which has since grown to include thousands of trainers and participants across the country.

His popular online courses have reached a global audience, providing accessible, high-quality education for trainers at every stage of their development. He is a frequent collaborator with Michael Ellis and Dr. Stewart Hilliard, most recently contributing to the Kynology project—a comprehensive initiative aimed at advancing the education of dog trainers through the integration of scientific principles, technical proficiency, and a deep appreciation for the human–canine relationship
